The real issue about the new situation in Greece is that it is a microcosm of massive flaws in the way European political economy has moved in the last two decades at both the level of the European Union and the member states. Neither in Brussels nor in Athens does anyone yet seem to understand that

The delay in loosening money and the refusal to break up the Eurozone and have economic policies which work better is dragging Euroland back into low growth and recession, and is generating mass unemployment. Another fine mess courtesy of European integration

Former French PM Michel Rocard says everything that is wrong with the EU is, wait for it, Britain's fault. He's lashing out because the Europhiles have been exposed as a bunch of donkeys: analytically and intellectually weak

Eurosceptics have missed a trick on how the EU, the eurozone and immigration are joined at the hip. By destroying domestic economies the euro encourages economically active people to leave, harming domestic economies still further

The EU goes about its business of feather bedding the governing class and leaving the many to fend for themselves in a malfunctioning economy and currency union that sensible people warned them could not work

U.S.E. (United States of Europe), does not have the same ring to at is U.S.A. But that's because a U.S.E is a fantasy world invented by Brussels. At least now they admit that that is what they're after, and it's something Britain can't be part of, says John Redwood MP

No-one but a fool thinks the euro is the only cause of Europe's economic crisis. There's also the anti-business madness of Brussels and the member states to consider too. Abolish social democracy, abolish the EU and abolish the euro all at once
